What are you trying to conceal? Size, in this case, matters.

Ok, big gun, you might think about a OWB that rides a bit higher than a snap slide. Go to the glock forum and find the holster section, look at what folks with a glock 19 are using to get some Ideas. T-shirts tend to ride high, unless you buy BIG!

I am looking at going to a leather holster as I do not like the way kydex wears on my gun's finish. Instead of smooth wear on the finish, it's causing little "chip" looking spots all along the slide. Leather wears more smoothly and gradually. Hickok45 did a YouTube video discussing this. Just something to consider when making your decision.

Won't say they're the best, but top quality can be found at DeSantis. Their 3-slot speed or thumb break holsters ride very high and cover to end of muzzle. Keep in mind that SDxxVE will fit any holster for the Sigma SWxxVE - I use same holster for both. Pick model on DeSantis web site, then buy from OpticsPlanet to save money. There are lots of good holster makers out there, but I can vouch for the high ride of the DeSantis, not the others.
